Lüneburg (officially the Hanseatic City of Lüneburg, German: Hansestadt Lüneburg), also called Lunenburg in English, is a town in the German state of Lower Saxony. It is located about 50 km (31 mi) southeast of another Hanseatic city, Hamburg, and belongs to that city's wider metropolitan region. The capital of the district that bears its name, it is home to roughly 77,000 people. Lüneburg's urban area, which includes the surrounding communities of Adendorf, Bardowick, Barendorf, and Reppenstedt, has a population of around 103,000. Lüneburg has been allowed to use the title "Hansestadt" (Hanseatic Town) in its name since 2007, in recognition of its membership in the former Hanseatic League.
In the south-western part of the town, there are several brine springs that were exploited in open-pan salt production since the 12th century. The saltworks ("Salinen" in German) were operative until 1980, and during the medieval ages, Lüneburg was the most important source of the valued "white gold" in northern Germany.
The brines originate in a salt dome that pushed evaporites of Permian age ("Zechstein") to the surface. The most prominent feature of the salt dome is a hill called "Kalkberg", a gypsum/anhydrite caprock. Gypsum was mined in several quarries around the Kalkberg.
